Walmart Canada Launches Massive Toy Event

More than 1,000 new toys to hit store shelves in advance of the 2012
holiday season

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Sept. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - With less than 100 days until
Christmas, moms and kids have already begun to think about the
holidays. Many moms have begun mapping out their holiday season plan
and kids are starting to put together their Christmas wish lists. To
help ease some of the holiday stress, Walmart Canada today announced
the launch of its Massive Toy Event. A first-of-its-kind in Canada,
this event includes more than 2,500 toys and officially introduces more
than 1,000 new toys to the shelves of Walmart stores across the
country.

"Our research shows that some moms are already shopping for their kids'
Christmas gifts," said Cheri Anthony, director of merchandising for
toys at Walmart Canada. "Our Massive Toy Event allows us to bring all
of the season's hottest toys and licenses to customers when they're
ready to shop, whether this means in September or in December."

The selection includes toys for kids of all ages and represents the
latest toy trends, including educational, interactive, crafting,
construction, outdoor, electronic, budget-friendly and movie and
TV-related toys.

In select stores, mom and kids will be able to test Twister Dance, a new dance game that combines today's best dance music with the
iconic Twister spots, providing a new way to learn hot new dances, and
Roxx, a new collectible game that has many ways to play and even more
ways to collect.

In conjunction with the Massive Toy Event, Walmart is also releasing two
new free downloadable Augmented Reality mobile apps, available for
Android and iPhone/iPad:

The apps allow the user to get an augmented reality experience by
interacting with special in-store signage located throughout Walmart
stores, online and in the weekly flyer, and have a game component in
each. Both apps give the user a different unique experience and help
to increase the fun during a shopping trip.
